Episode 185

Circana, a well-reputed US market research company, has published the top 20 selling games each year from 2000 - 2023 (https://www.circana.com/intelligence/entertainment-top-10/2024/gaming-through-the-decades-us-top-20-best-selling-video-games/). On today's episode, we continue to analyze this list of titles from the dawn of the new millennium, reflect on popular trends that no longer exist, and discuss a plethora of games that shaped our taste growing up. We chat about the games on the list from 2011 - 2015, and plan on covering the rest of the list next week in a part 3. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, X4: Foundations, Monster Hunter Wilds Beta, Life is Strange: Double Exposure). This episode was recorded in November 2024. Intro and outro music composed for Gametalk by Dylan Chase.
